Summary
Buster, after seeing footage of the first Moon landing, plans to build a model rocket ship. He recruits Arthur, George, Carl, Francine and Muffy to help him, however, chaos ensues until he receives advice from the guest star astronaut Michael Fincke.
Plot
Buster is seen flipping through channels on the TV in his living room, until he starts watching a show on space and gets interested in it. He gathers all of his saved money (and some food), and asks his mom for a ride to the mall.
After the title card, Buster goes to the hobby store and buys a model rocket. He calls Arthur to help him construct it, but putting the rocket together is easier said then done, as it turns out to be a lot more difficult than expected.
The next day, Buster recruits Arthur, George, Carl, Francine, and Muffy to help construct the rocket. When they try to construct the rocket, chaos takes place, and when the parachute rips, everyone soon goes to the Sugar Bowl, thinking about what they're going to do without the parachute.
They then get some motivation from an astronaut named Mike Fincke, and Muffy gets an idea on another parachute, and soon construction on the rocket resumes.
After the completion, it starts raining outside, and the gang is forced to go inside of Muffy's mansion until the rain stops. After the thunderstorm, the gang plans to launch their rocket, and their launch is successful. but it doesn't land back at the mansion, but in the hands of Mike Fincke, who gives the rocket back to Buster. The episode then finishes.
